Martha F. Davis THE NEW PATERNALISM: WAR ON POVERTY OR WAR ON WOMEN? 1 Georgetown Journal on Fighting Poverty 88 (1993) Theories of poverty are cyclical.

Jeffrey S. Lehman TO CONCEPTUALIZE, TO CRITICIZE, TO DEFEND, TO IMPROVE: UNDERSTANDING AMERICA'S WELFARE STATE 101 Yale Law Journal 685 (December, 1991) America's welfare state is a foreign notion. A European visitor might use it in casual speech, hoping that an idea that fits so comfortably throughout the rest of the industrialized world would find a cognate here.

Sylvia A. Law WOMEN, WORK, WELFARE, AND THE PRESERVATION OF PATRIARCHY 131 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 1249 (May, 1983) Historically, women have been regarded as unemployable, both because they have been considered physically and morally unsuited for wagework and because law and custom limited their ability to do wage labor by demanding that they do the work of homemaking and of caring for the young and the old.
